While in the process of reviewing Texas Instruments applications notes, including those from the recently acquired Burr-Brown – I uncovered a couple of treasures, this handbook on active RC networks and one on op amp applications. These old publications, from 1966 and 1963, respectively, are some of the finest works on op amp theory that I have ever seen. Nevertheless, they contain some materia...

The conventional sine wave oscillator circuits use phase shifting techniques that RC phase shift oscillator using op-amp in inverting amplifier introduces. Figure show a RC phase shift oscillator using Op-Amp with gain 5(Vo/Vi). My assumption : Circuit is generating a sine wave with a peak to peak voltage of 10v. Voltage stability, specifically the lack of, when using a resister divider is the ...

In this research paper, Simulation and Analysis of innovative folded cascode Operational Amplifier based on carbon nanotubes (CNT) has been performed using 45 nm technology. DC voltage gain, average power, bandwidth and output resistance have been computed. CNT based folded cascode Op Amp results in high performance with the increase of CNTs. For example, the increase in DC gain is 41.48% in pC...

In a never-ending effort to reduce power consumption and gate oxide thickness, the integrated circuit industry is constantly developing smaller power supplies. Furthermore, in an effort to reduce costs and integrate analog and digital circuits onto a single chip, MOS devices are used in the weak inversion region or the subthreshold inversion region to minimize dc source power. A feasible config...

This chapter, one of the longer of those within the book, deals with topics just as important as all of those basic circuits immediately surrounding the op amp, discussed earlier. The chapter deals with various and sundry circuit/system issues which fall under the guise of system hardware and housekeeping techniques. In this context, the hardware and housekeeping may be all those support items ...

A new design approach for three-stage operational amplifiers (op-amps) is proposed. It allows to actually implement a symmetrical push-pull class-AB amplifier output stage for wellestablished three-stage amplifiers using a feedforward transconductance stage. Compared with the conventional design practice, the proposed approach leads to a significant improvement of the symmetry between the posit...

The need for high bandwidth operational amplifiers (op amp) exists for numerous applications. This need requires research in the area of op amp bandwidth extension. The exploited method in this thesis uses a class of compensation called Indirect Feedback Frequency Compensation in which the compensation current is fed back indirectly from the output to an internal high impedance node, to extend ...

I T IS A well-known fact that the frequency response of an operational amplifier (op amp) affects the performance of active filters employing these devices. The frequency dependent gain of the op amp causes both a perturbation in the desired poles of the active filter from their nominal position and the introduction of parasitic poles in the active transfer function. It has also been observed b...

Abstract: This paper presents a new methodology for design of high speed CMOS operational amplifier in Sub-micron region. The opamp uses a compensation technique which increases the unity gain frequency and phase margin simultaneously. The CMOS op-amp presented in this paper works on 1.5V designed in 65nm standard CMOS technology. It exhibits 86dB DC gain. With load of 5pF, the unity gain frequ...
